Outline of Final Research Achievements

According to the questionnaire survey on victim’s evaluation of recovery of livelihood, rebuilding of houses and reconstruction of towns from mega tsunami caused by the 2011 East Japan earthquake, it is clarified that the victim’s evaluation of recovery has been progressing year by year through the analysis of cumulative curves of victim’s evaluations. However, the evaluation of recovery in the fourth year of 2014 dose not progressed in contrast of the former three years.
As a result of multiple linear regression model analysis, it is clear that victim’s evaluations of recovery are determined by four factors such as recovery of daily lives like eating habit, family income and jobs, rebuilding of their houses, and reconstruction of their town. It is expected that a more progression of reconstruction of towns in 2015 of the fifth year is able to progress the victim’s taking of jobs, and rebuilding of houses.
